Burger King has proposed to McDonald’s that the two fast-food chains come together to make “The McWhopper.”
In a full-page advertisement published Wednesday in the Chicago Tribune and The New York Times, Miami-based Burger King says the two rivals should call a one-day ceasefire in the “burger wars” to make a sandwich that combines elements of the Big Mac and the Whopper, the two chains’ signature burgers.
Burger King says the McWhopper would be sold for one day at a pop-up store in Atlanta and sales would benefit Peace One Day, a non-profit organization campaigning to raise awareness of the United Nations-recognized Peace Day of Sept. 21.
update: McDonald's declines LINK

"We love the intention but think our two brands could do something bigger to make a difference," read a post on McDonald's Facebook signed by McDonald's CEO Steve Easterbrook.
But Easterbrook chided Burger King for using the language of battle to describe their competition, saying it paled compared to the "real pain and suffering of war."
"A simple phone call will do next time," read a testy postscript.

The mac with mayo instead of mac sauce is only a half bad burger

This controversy has ruined my afternoon. Thanks a lot.

Both companies have disgusted me with all this silly foolishness.
I'm not going to eat either burger from now on, and I usually had zero of both/week.

Big macs suck. BUT they inspired the Pig Mac, and the Pig Mac is delicious.

ETA, and there is already a version of this, the Big King at BK.

I think BK knew McD's would decline and assumed the decline would make McD's look badly.
Wouldn't eat either nor a combined version, myself, but the story is interesting.

Is this the thread where we all pretend that we've never eaten fast food before?
Posted on 8/26/15 at 5:40 pm to Box Geauxrilla
Yep. Bunch of pussies. 
Posted on 8/26/15 at 5:51 pm to The Egg
Doesn't burger king already have a big mac clone on their menu?
